By The Sports Xchange

Former UCLA point guard Lonzo Ball is expected to make a pre-draft workout for the Los Angeles Lakers on June 7, according to multiple reports.

Ball also plans to meet with the Lakers' coaching staff and front-office personnel, ESPN and the Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday night.

The Lakers own the second overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, which will take place in New York on June 22.

Ball did not attend the NBA combine so the workout will give the Lakers a chance to meet with him for the first time and see him in drills.

The 6-foot-6, 190-pound Ball is also considering working out for the Philadelphia 76ers, who own the third pick, and the Phoenix Suns (No. 4).

Ball will not work out for the Boston Celtics, who won the first overall pick at the draft lottery. Celtics general manager Danny Ainge said last week that Ball declined to work out for the team.

Ball, 19, averaged 14.6 points, 7.6 assists and 6.0 rebounds over 36 games in his lone season with the Bruins in 2016-17.
